To save the globe - the change in Co2 paradigm is a must!

Abstract

With the famous Kyoto Protocol (1997) the carbon-dioxide (CO2) has been declared guilty. So far series of conferences cibled its reduction while by today even a carbon free vision got a serious political consent. In the meanwhile, climate change has been accelerating and escalating contradicting to those overall CO2 reduction efforts. Increase of global warming with forest fires extension and ice melting are showing also an escalation. While the world air traffic has collapsed (due the COVID-19), atmospheric CO2 level seems to be stabilizing at 400 PPM. We can simply declare that CO2 theory does not work while we are running out of time! Let’s turn the whole theory upside down. Take the CO2 as a fertilizer (as it has always been) and start to create large green surfaces – carbon climate farms - with C4 species, agroforestry and geo-engineering while stopping the desertification or even turning it into profit center. Green Sahara and other large green projects completed with CO2 fertilization could convert large amount of CO2 into value with which progressive climate mitigation could start. Hungary inaugurated its first carbon climate farm in Nagyberény in 2019 while Morocco labelled our CO2 open field fertilization pilot project as an important innovation at COP22 in 2016. We have tools for new efficient solutions, so let’s convert CO2 into green value.
